Display is washed out, like a white overlay. The black bar at the bottom looks 50% grey

Just bought the computer yesterday. The contrast is off. Black looks grey, text looks light grey instead of black; it is very hard to read. I tried the nightlight and settings. I even looked in the posts, but while it says "solution" there isn't one provided.

If I cannot get this fixed today I will return it for an Asus.
